The world's population growth and economic prosperity have placed unprecedented demands on cities, transportation planning, and goods movement. This surge, coupled with a slower pace of transportation capacity expansion and deteriorated facility restoration, has resulted in rapid changes in the transportation planning and policy environment. Megacities, in particular, are experiencing alarming rates of mobility and facility degradation, making it crucial to find innovative solutions to address these challenges.

Megacity Mobility is a comprehensive resource that addresses transportation policy, planning, and facilities in a multimodal context. It explores innovative short- and long-term solutions for meeting the mobility needs of the world's most dynamic cities. By examining the influence of urban land use on mobility, 3D spiderweb transportation planning, travel demand management, multimodal transportation with flexible capacity, efficient capacity utilization driven by new technologies, innovative transportation funding and financing, and performance-based budget allocation using asset management principles, the book offers a roadmap for achieving sustainable mobility in the 21st century.
